What a life! Half-Moon Cay and Grand Turks.

Thought to be the first landing site of Columbus on this island in the Grand Turks and Caicos.



Docked at Grand Turk. This island was hit hard by the hurricanes a year ago or so and many buildings still don't have roofs. The high school classes are still being held in dark-colored UNICEF tents with little ventilation.



Can you see the coconuts growing in this palm tree?



I persuaded Dad to re-enact a famous pose, except the seaweed is much lovelier here.



Half-moon Cay (pronounced "key") was our first stop. We lounged on the beach with all the Strong and Hanni clan. Even the sand is beautifully white.
